• Currency Fluctuation
• Current Estimated Situation
No risk was detected until preparation of this report since the main program of the loan civil works implementation has not yet been started with contract sign.
6.9.3 Risks Related to Quality
The quality of work is inherently tied to the competence of the Contractors and the diligence of the Supervision Teams. The competence or otherwise of contractors
shall be considered at the time of bid evaluation and prior to the award of any contract.
The quality of supervision however is influenced by the following factors: •
Ensuring that supervision staff levels are fully manned with competent, honest, qualified and experienced personnel.
• The provision of properly equipped laboratories with properly trained
operators for each package. Package supervision comes under the responsibilities of the immediate supervision
teams and the relevant DSC but the Quality Assurance Engineer from CTC. Until now, the performance have not been reported by the Quality Assurance
Engineer from CTC, because the works activity has not started.

7 ISSUES and RECOMMENDATIONS
7.1 Current Situation
The main issues during October 2013 is the NOL Bank for BER of 4 Packages had been approved and only 1 package had been approved by Ministry of Public Work for
award, that is Package 04: Ipuh – Bantal. It is must take into account that the validity period will be expired on November 2013. The Pokja must be to extend the validity of
the bids to all bidders which had been submitted the bids. Its hope the approval from ministry will be issued in next month, because still need time to process the contract until
disbursement or the disbursement for these packages will in the year 2014.
The existing road conditions of the four packages under AWP-1, which are predicted being deteriorated rapidly by the traffic during almost a year, shall be anticipated.
Another issue is establishment and mobilization of the Design and Supervision Consultant DSC especially the Design Team. The DEDs for AWP-2 and AWP-3
packages, including the 7 packages under CTC review at the current time, shall be completed soonest and the procurement can be started immediately.
7.2 Action Required
Based on the past experience when the Pokja need long time to prepared the AER, for this bidding stage hopefully the POKJA could be finalized the Bidding Evaluation Report
BER in sufficient time as scheduled with full support from CTC WINRIP.
It is required to immediately mobilize the Design Team of DSC contract signing process following up the contract signing on June 11, 2013.
